Nihilego is back in 5 Star Raids in Pokemon GO! #pokemon #pokemongo #pogo #pokemoncommunity

Nihilego is BACK in Tier 5 Raids in Pokémon GO, and this Ultra Beast is one you don’t want to underestimate. In this video, I break down everything you need to know about the Nihilego raid, including the best counters, weaknesses, shiny availability, and how many trainers you need to take it down.

Nihilego is a Rock and Poison-type Pokémon, making it double weak to Ground-type moves, which is the key to defeating it fast. If you’ve got top counters like Primal Groudon, Garchomp, Excadrill, or even Shadow Ground-types, you’ll have a huge advantage in this raid.

✨ YES — Shiny Nihilego is available, so this is a great chance to grind raids and hunt for that shiny Ultra Beast!

🔥 In this video you’ll learn:

Nihilego weaknesses explained (DOUBLE weak to Ground)
How many trainers you need to win
Can Nihilego be duoed or soloed?
Nihilego CP ranges for catching (100% IV info)
Is Nihilego worth raiding?

🎯 Nihilego Raid CP:

2167 – 2256 CP (No Weather Boost)
2709 – 2821 CP (Weather Boosted)

With strong teams, Nihilego can be beaten with 3–5 trainers, and high-level players can even duo it. If you’re running maxed counters like Primal Groudon, a solo is technically possible!

If you’re planning to grind raids, make sure you build a strong Ground-type team to take full advantage of its double weakness.
